Rigid gas permeable

Question

Good day!

I wear rigid gas permeable lenses for 1,5 month. But today I got sick and I am lying at home with a high fever (39 Celsius or 102.2 Fahrenheit).

Should I still wear my lenses? I am afraid in case I don't, I will have to adapt again

Thank you in advance!

Answer

Thanks for your Question

I would recommend to take it off until you are free from the infection. Contact lenses might get contaminated
